Although the plurality of knock-overbits 16 are designed to be adjustable, however the plurality of knock-overbits 16 do not move when one of the plurality ofcorresponding needles 15 moves. Moreover, thegap 10 of the present invention is defined by the plurality of knock-overbits 16 of the twoneedle beds gap 10 is equal to the space 101 (as shown in the figure) between two knock-overbits 16 which are facing each other. Referring toFigs. 3 ,4 ,5 and 6 , each of the plurality ofneedles 15 comprises abutt 151. Each of the plurality of knock-over bits 16 comprises acontrol butt 161 disposed at a same side as each of thebutts 151. Further, each of the plurality of knock-overbits 16 is respectively overlapped on one of the plurality ofcorresponding needles 15, and thebutt 151 is disposed at one side of theneedle 15 opposing to aneedle bed base 17. Thecontrol butt 161 is disposed at one side of the plurality of knock-overbits 16 opposing to theneedle bed base 17. Referring toFig. 6 , each of the plurality ofneedles 15 may define aneedle extending line 152. Thebutt 151 on theneedle 15 is positioned on theneedle extending line 152. Thecontrol butts 161 corresponding to theneedle 15 on one of the plurality of knock-overbits 16 is also positioned on theneedle extending line 152. Furthermore, in order to ensure that thecontrol butt 161 and thebutt 151 are positioned on the sameneedle extending line 152, the length of each of the plurality of knock-overbits 16 is shorter than the total length of the plurality ofneedles 15. - Referring to
Fig. 4 andFig. 6 , in an embodiment, each of the plurality of knock-overbits 16 comprises an extendingsection 162 provided with thecontrol butt 161, abending section 163 connected with the extendingsection 162, and aloop hanging section 164 connected with thebending section 163 as well as paralleled to a front edge of oneneedle 15. Further, the extendingsection 162 is overlapped above theneedle 15. Thebending section 163 allows theloop hanging section 164 and the extendingsection 162 are positioned on different extending lines, and allows theloop hanging section 164 to parallel with theneedle 15 and hang a loop when theneedle 15 moves. Moreover, each of the plurality of knock-overbits 16 also comprises a wire mounting hole for looseningloop 165 located on theloop hanging section 164, and at least one wire mounting hole for limitingposition 166 located on the extendingsection 162. Referring toFigs. 5 and 6 , in an embodiment, the plurality of knock-overbits 16 are implemented with two different thicknesses on theloop hanging section 164. Further, the thickness of theloop hanging section 164 of the knock-over bits 16 is able to be implemented with thicknesses smaller than the thickness of other parts of the knock-over bits 16, as shown inFig. 6 .

Each of the plurality of knock-over bits 16 comprises abottom 167 positioned at theloop hanging section 164 and disposed into thechute 171. - Referring to
Figs. 2 ,7 and8 , in another aspect, each of the cam systems 13(14) is respectively disposed to face one of needle beds 11(12). Each of the cam systems 13(14) comprises aneedle cam 131 to provide thebutts 151 being placed, and a knock-over bit cam 132 provides thecontrol butts 161 being placed. Theneedle cam 131 and the knock-over bit cam 132 may be formed by at least one cam unit. Theneedle cam 131 comprises a convex and a valley which are continuous so that thebutts 151 disposed therein make a knitting stroke towards thegap 10 when each of the cam systems 13(14) is operated. Moreover, in an embodiment, the knock-over bit cam 132 comprises afirst guide section 134, astraight section 135 connected with thefirst guide section 134, and asecond guide section 136 connected with thestraight section 135. Thefirst guide section 134 and thesecond guide section 136 are respectively tapered towards thestraight section 135, and the size of thestraight section 135 is constant. Further, thefirst guide section 134 and thesecond guide section 136 are designed to be tapered in order to actually guide the control butts 161 after the knock-overbit cam 132 moves. Furthermore, each of the knock-overbit cams 132 is respectively disposed at one side of each of the cam system 13(14) where faces thegap 10. - Based on the foregoing mentioned, the knock-over
bit cam 132 of the present invention determines the position of each of the plurality of knock-overbits 16, so as to change the size of thegap 10. Unlike theneedle cam 131, the knock-overbit cam 132 does not have the convex and the valley obviously. Most of guiding portions in the knock-overbit cam 132, which guides each of the plurality of knock-overbits 16, are straight. However, in the present invention, the knock-overbit cam 132 is controlled to define adisplacement stroke 133. In thedisplacement stroke 133, the knock-overbit cam 132 makes one-dimensional motion relative to acam base 137 and simultaneously drives each of the plurality of knock-overbits 16 to displace, so as to change the position of each of the plurality of knock-overbits 16. Thus, the size of thegap 10 is changed, and the foregoing-mentioned displacement of the knock-overbit cam 132 is shown inFig. 2 andFig. 3 . - Based on this, each of the knock-over
bit cams 132 of the present invention is also connected with a motion mechanism. The motion mechanism drives each of the knock-overbit cams 132 to make thedisplacement stroke 133 according to an accepted control signal. The generation of the control signal is set based on a programming. Thus, in the knitting process of the three-dimensional fabric 90, the thickness of the three-dimensional fabric 90 is changed, and the three-dimensional fabric 90 is even allowed to generate a structure with concave and convex outside the plane.
